Oil will shorten the life of rubber bushings. Be sure to wipe off any spilled oil. ● Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are in designated positions. ● After servicing suspension parts, be sure to check wheel alignment. ● Caulking nuts are not reusable. Always use new ones when installing. Since new caulking nuts are pre- oiled, tighten as they are. ● Avoid burden to front cross bar.

INSPECTION OF TRANSVERSE LINK BALL JOINT END PLAY 1. Set front wheels in a straight-ahead position. Do not depress brake pedal. 2. Measure axial end play by installing and moving up/down between transverse link and steering knuckle with an iron pry bar or something similar. CAUTION: Be careful not to damage ball joint boot. STRUT INSPECTION ● Check strut for oil leakage, damage and replace if necessary. Refer to FSU-11, "COIL SPRING AND STRUT" . Wheel Alignment Inspection AES000N4 DESCRIPTION ● Measure wheel alignment under unladen conditions. NOTE: Unladen conditions mean that fuel, engine coolant, and lubricant are full. Spare tire, jack, hand tools and mats are designated positions. PRELIMINARY CHECK 1. Check tires for improper air pressure and wear. 2. Check road wheels for runout. 3. Check wheel bearing axial end play. 4. Check transverse link ball joint axial end play. 5. Check strut operation. 6. Check each mounting part of axle and suspension for looseness and deformation. 7. Check each link, rod and member for cracks, deformation and other damage. 8. Check vehicle posture. INSPECTION OF CAMBER, CASTER AND KINGPIN INCLINATION ANGLES ● Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles cannot be adjusted. ● Before inspection, mount front wheels onto turning radius gauge. Mount rear wheels onto a stand that has same height so vehicle will remain horizontal. Using a CCK Gauge Install CCK gauge attachment (SST: KV991040S0) as following procedure in wheel, then measure wheel alignment. 1. Remove wheel nuts (3), and install a guide bolt to hub bolt. 2. Screw adapter into plate body until it contacts body tightly. 3. Screw center plate into plate. 4. Insert plate on guide bolt. Put spring in, and then evenly screw both guide bolt nut. When fastening guide bolt nut, do not com- pletely compress spring. Axial end play : 0 mm (0 in) SEIA0240E FRONT SUSPENSION ASSEMBLY FSU-7 C D F G H I J K L M A B FSU Revision; 2004 April 2003 FX 5. Place the dent of alignment gauge onto the projection of center plate and tightly contact them to measure. CAUTION: ● If camber, caster, or kingpin inclination angle is outside the standard, check front suspension parts for wear and damage, and replace suspect parts if necessary. ● King pin inclination angle is reference value, no inspec- tion is required. Toe-In Inspection Measure toe-in using the following procedure. WARNING: ● Always perform the following procedure on a flat surface. ● Make sure that no person is in front of vehicle before push- ing it. 1. Bounce front of vehicle up and down to stabilize the posture. 2. Push vehicle straight ahead about 5 m (16 ft). 3. Put a mark on base line of the tread (rear side) of both tires at the same height of hub center. These are measuring points. 4. Measure distance “A” (rear side). 5. Push vehicle slowly ahead to rotate wheels 180 degrees (1/2 turn). If wheels have rotated more than 180 degrees (1/2 turn), try the above procedure again from the beginning. Never push vehicle backward. 6. Measure distance “B” (front side). Camber, caster, kingpin inclination angles: Refer to FSU-18, " SERVICE DATA" .
